Another Irish remedy is TO apply a

In some Of the Hebridesn Isles,
notably that Of Lewis, ths greatest

has survived in some portions Of the
Uuited States, where the flesh Of the
rattlesnake is accounted the best cure
for lis own bite. Black, in his Folk
Medicine, states that the belief IN
the power Of snake skin as a cgle for
rheumatism still exists in New Eng

In Durham, an cells skin, worn as

for swollen neck is to draw a snake
nine times across the throat of the
sufferer, after which the snakeis killed,
and its skin sewed in piece OF silk

Sometimes the snake is put in bot

ANOTHER QUARREL.
The Republicans OF New York and Mr..
Blaine Cutting One Another's Throats.

The Republicans OF New York and Mr..
Blaine Cutting One Another's Threats.
A recent interview with Senator Mil
Ter has stirred up a hornets nest in the
Republican ranks. and in the Judgment
of many of the Herkimer statesman's
friends he has seriously impaired his
chances for a reelection. In the inter-
view in question Mr.. Miller took oc-
casion to defend his mistakes as a
party leader. He declared that he was
not responsible for the: Republican re-
verses in this State since his elevation
to the Senate five years ago. His adj
vice had been disregarded. He charged
the defeat of Mr.. Blaine in 1884 to the
National Republican Committee. 1t
refused TO accept the. advice of the
State Committee last year, which, he
says, was controlled by. his friends, and
took the counsel of Thomas c. Platt
The interview has brought forth
good deal of vigorous denunciation
from the members of the National Com
nittee, in particular from B. F. Jones,
of Pittsburgh, the chairman of the COM
mittee, and from Stephen B: Elkins,
who was the committees executive of
ficer. Mr.. Elkins, in conversation with
friend, said: Warner Miller is the
last man to impute the defeat of Blaine
to the National Committee, and YOU
may put it down for fact that the in
huence OF that committee will be used
against Miller in the coming Senatorial
contest. We have direct proof that
previous to the National convention of
1884 Miller worked secretly to- prevent
Blaine's nomination, with the idea of
bringing himself forward as a compro-
mise candidate. Then, after Blaine was
nominated, Miller and his friends made
no special effort to carry New York.
1.-The organization of the State Com
mittee here was the most serious prob
lem that confronted Mr.. Blaine's
friends Immediately after the Chicago
convention. The National Committee
and the New York State Committee
were called together on the same day

Mr.. Blaine seemed fated TO have

Congregational Club meeting of minis
tiers at Boston. Among the other
speakers was Rev. DR.. Herman Lin
coin, of Newton. DR.. Lincoln, by an
historical allusion, recalled the episode
at President Arthur's funeral, and
wound up his discourse by saying:
There is still enough energy here to
sweep heresy from the face of the
earth, though the Boston of the Col
linses and the O Briens is not the Bos-
ton of the Winthrops and the Pill
grims." Commenting upon this the
Boston Transcript says: 1T is some
what remarkable that the 'heresy'
which DR.. Lincoln thinks sustains the
Collinses and the O'Briens here is just
that sentiment upon which Mr.. Blaine
and his friends rely to make him Presi-
dent two years hence. And to speak
slightingly of it anywhere was a capi-
tai blunder on DR.. Lincoln's part. But
what can you expect when intelligent
men are SO beguiled as are Mr.. Blaine's

at tie Fifth Avenue Hotel. In the
State Committee there were three fac
lions about equal in strength-the half
breeds. who were controlled by Miller
and his friends, and the Arthur and the
Platt stalwarts. The Platt men had
earnestly supported Blaine's nomina-
ton, and they were unqualified in favor
OF his election. The Arthur men were
disgruntled and sore. Mr. Miller in
duced his half-breed friends to place
the organization of the State Commit
tee in the hands of men who had been
bitterly opposed to Blaine's nomina-
ton. We thought then that Miller's
action was prompted by his opposition
to ex-senator Platt.
Z" The Utica convention of 1884 was
largely against General Arthur and
could have been controlled for Blaine
by any sort of skillful management.
Mr.. Miller refused to consult with the
leaders of the Republican party there,
and so dallied with his negotiations
with the Edmunds men that he was
beaten. The National Committee took
the ground that its duty was to consult
with all leading Republicans. Platt,
Cornell, and other men of their follow
ing were constantly in consultation
with Mr.. Jones and his committee.
Miller demanded that the committee
take no advice but his. They did not
regard that as a wise policy and Miller
sulked in his tent. Chairman Jones
has right to feel indignant when
charged with infidelity by Il man in
Miller's position. No man ever worked
harder or more faithfully in any cause
than Jones did for Blaine He worked
like hero, and if he had received the
vast cooperation of all Mr.. Blaine's
supposed friends in New York Blaine
would have been elected in spite Of
Burchard. "
Mr.. Elkins and other prominent Re-
publicans allege that Miller schemed
in an underhanded way for the nomi-
nation at Chicago and was deeply
mortified at the miscarriage of his
plans. His recent attack on the Ma
tional Committee is said to have been
actuated by the direct refusal of the
committee to help him in his Sena-
torial contest. Chicago NeuS.

Edmunds Coughed

Discussing the Tenure-of-Ofice act
in the Senate the other day Judge
Edmunds said it should not be repealed.
All offices should be held for fixed
terms. When vacancies occurred he
was perfectly willing that the Presi-
dent should select men of his own per-
suasion. If there was to be change
two years hence, as he trusteds and
hoped and believed there would be, all
these matters would then be removed
from the mere strife and spoils and
contentious OF politics. ''At this point"
says the telegram, '.A1r. Edmunds was
attacked with violent fit of coughing,
which forced him to resume his seat"
When the object and history of the
Tenure-of-Office act are taken into con-
sideration it will not surprise any one
that the venerable Vermonter had q
bad attack OF coughing after making
the above remark about Republicans
removing the offices from the strife and
the spoil and the contention. of politics.
Probably he is coughing yet.-ChicagS
